terbutaline shot at 35 weeks

aparvin2 · May 2015

I went in at 35 weeks for contractions that were 1-6 minutes apart and dilated 1-2cm. They gave me fluids which did not help. After that I was given a shot of terbutaline. That did the trick mostly. Now at 35 weeks 2 days I'm back to having regular contractions and am 50% effaced and still 1-2 cm dilated. There is also alot of pressure and sharp pains. I have not dilated anymore since monday. Has anyone else had this shot and if so how long afterwards did you give birth?

I had terbutaline at 35 weeks and 1 day and helped stopped contractions for about 7 hours and contractions came back again and ended up giving birth at 35 weeks and 3 days.

I was given the shot twice while admited into the hospital for my high blood sugars at 33 weeks. Then last week at 36 weeks I was given a pill to stop contractions. When I went to the hospital right after my doctor told me at my weekly visit the day before he told me that they wouldn't stop them the next time. I am so confused I have a appointment tomorrow so I can't wait to see what he has to say at 37 weeks. I had only dialated 1.5 cm last week

I've had 14 terbutaline shots and I'm only 36 weeks. However they seem to stop labor every time I've had to get them.

Not sure what answer you are looking for here, people can be given terb at different points in their pregnancy. That doesn't mean you will deliver early, and if you do there is no way of telling you when. Given you are past 35 weeks they won't continue to try and stop labor, and the symptoms you are having doesn't mean you will deliver early.

14? Have you gotten them every week? ..... I'm calling BS. If you needed that many shots of terbutaline you would be admitted for preterm labor and put on magnesium IV. Terb has nasty side effects making you feel like your heart is racing..... You would not get more than 2-4 doses at a time.
Also there is a thread just TWO threads below this one about terbutaline and there's multiple threads on this.

No I have to get more than one every time I've went into labor before they would fully stop my contractions. It's horrible! I've had to get 3 the first three times I went into premature labor and 2 this last time. They give them to me every fifteen minutes until the contractions stop but the most you can get in 24 hours is 3. Or at least that's how my hospital does it.

Now I'm on procardia every 6 hours until I deliver due to pre mature labor and high blood pressure. They also have terbutaline in pill form too. I've had complications from the beginning of my pregnancy so I've been in the hospital numerous times.
